Taking my oem shock housings and converting them to a short stroke suspension. Hope you enjoy!https://youtu.be/gFGSgNFI-cQPs- forgot to mention in the video that the reason I didn't show me cutting the oem spring perches off is because I had to do it in a very dodgy way. Basically, whilst standing up I used my feet to hold the spindle part steady and with the tube facing upward....then I used my angle grinder with the cutting disc and cut the perch off....yeah....the disc was more close to my legs than I liked, but it had to get done and it wasn't too bad, it just looked more dangerous than it really was. So I decided to cut it from the video. Good luck.

Any reason why you didn't get the needle bearing high-hats?

Thanks man.....I just used the ones that were supplied in the weld on kit. I should've asked if I could pay extra for the upgrade....I just didn't think about it since it's not offered on the website.....oh well.....I'll try these out and if I need to I'll get the bearing high hats. Glad you enjoyed.

You can test it out now if you want, as long as your steering is all connected to the spindle. If you turn it left or right and the pillow ball nut (middle with sleeve) loosens/tightens and it has been torques all the way... THen you'll have an issue

They look gold to me....haha.???? well, I went out and turned the steering wheel like you said and indeed the top nuts were turning. But there is no weight on the suspension yet as I have it up on jackstands so wouldn't it turn anyway because as I turn the steering wheel the assembly will rotate a little? Sorry, I never was great at suspension so i'm having a hard time trying to picture how those nuts wont turn even if I have upper hats with bearings?

It's ok, you have to torque those nuts with an impact or have the proper SST. Since if you don't, and try by hand, it will free spin and never tighten down..

Mine still turn with the bearing hats, but I also have no weight on it and nuts not torqued. But they shouldn't bind when I do because remember the highat makes contact with the bottom of the camber plate. Even if you aren't sitting on it now due to no weight/coilovers set low; you'll bind when you compress the springs going over bumps, and the steering will be stiff for a second..
